The Tortoise and his Hair

5.  That's not a real kitty, right?  That's just a costume.

4.  Can I touch your wings?

3.  You're my favorite color!

2.  Why do you have green hair? (I wear a green feather hat.)

1.  My little brother ate an apple today.  He's one.

A Little Off the Top

5.  You're adorable.

4.  Star of the show!

3.  Little miss bombshell up there.

2.  Are you wrapped in cellophane under that dress?

1.  (From the cutest, oldest lady there)  Well you're just a little sexpot aren't you?

The Death and Life of Sherlock Homes along with Oklahoma! had normal comments - like I have great hair and I did a great job and they all enjoyed the show and will be back again for something else, etc.

Things are hellish on the director front though.  He needs to go back on his meds and plain stay away from me.  Seriously.  I have a lot of tolerance for sick people, but when it comes down to attacking me with rudeness and swearing and yelling?  Absolutely not.  I don't need that.  My tiny paycheck and my love of theatre keeps me coming back each day.

Are we having fun yet?

On an unrelated note, my little brother left yesterday for his week-long scouting camp. Before he left we played pictionary with sidewalk chalk.  Since there's just the two of us, and since he's ten years younger than me, we bend the rules a little bit.  It was fun - pretty much the only time that we've both been home at the same time to actually do something together.  He told me when he left not to miss him.  He said to take care of his chickens and if for some reason I did miss him, to pretend that the chickens were him.  He's such a funny little kid.  I love him lots.  Those chickens are pretty wacky too.  But they're a topic for a different day.  Cheers.

here's a sketch of chicken that someone else drew...
